The reason was invalid register usage information about the runtime xor
function. The compiler has builtin knowledge about quite some runtime
functions, so it knows if registers inputs and/or destroyed when the function
is called. In case of the xor function, the Y register was wrongly marked as
"retains its value", and the so compiler generated code to reuse this value.

The problem is fixed in the source and the change will be in tonights
snapshot.

Thanks for the report!
